Assistant State's Attorney In Kane County Charged With DUI In DuPage
From the Chicago Tribune
A Kane County prosecutor is due in court in September after her arrest this month in DuPage County on charges of driving under the influence, speeding and improper lane usage, according to court and police records.
Kathleen Doyen, 30, of Chicago, a Kane County assistant state's attorney since 2011, was charged Aug. 15 after she was stopped by Carol Stream police, according to reports. Police say her blood alcohol level was 0.168 — twice the legal limit.
According to Carol Stream police, an officer in an unmarked vehicle said Doyen passed him about 12:30 a.m. headed east on Illinois Route 64, near the County Farm Road intersection.
Doyen, according to police, was driving at a high rate of speed and weaving. The officer who arrested her at one point clocked her car going 67 mph in a 45 mph zone.
The officer reported activating his siren three times before Doyen pulled over on Route 64, and he noted a strong odor of alcohol coming from the vehicle. He also reported that her eyes were bloodshot and glassy, and her speech was slow and confused, "as though she was thinking of what not to say," according to the police report.
